GeschWhat Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I received a micro CT scans of this coprolite from the University of Minnesota Tomography Lab. The software I have for viewing/manipulating the images isn't quite as nice as that of the university's, but here are some images nevertheless. I could not see any tooth plate inclusions, but there are numerous scales and what looks to be part of a fish jaw or vertebra (see next post). What do you all think it is? I will post better images as they become available. 2 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It looks like a pycnodont tooth plate rather than a lungfish, really cool fossil whatever it is! Heres an example of a pycnodont tooth plate from the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres an example of a pycnodont tooth plate from the net. CHALKPYA.jpg You could be right. I really have no idea what type of tooth plate it is. I was hoping there was another one in there so I could see some additional detail, Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 So cool... These are cool, but just wait until you see what I can get using the U of Mn's software. I'm suppose to meet with them next Tuesday. Life is good! Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
